1. INTRODUCTION
Scott Bader Company Limited (SBCL – ‘the Company’) is a
multinational speciality chemical company with a turnover
around £200m, employing c.a. 700 people worldwide and
is a recognised leader in the manufacture of adhesives,
gelcoats, resins and functional polymers.
The Company was formed as a chemicals merchant in 1921
by Ernest Bader. Scott Bader moved to Northamptonshire
in 1940 where its headquarters remain today.
In 1951, the Bader family gifted the Company shares to
The Scott Bader Commonwealth Limited, an independent
company with no external shareholders and a distinct self-
governing structure ‘owned in common’ by all who work in it.
Scott Bader has expanded to be a global company with 7
Manufacturing sites and 9 Sales offices around the world.
The founder Ernest Bader wanted to create an environment
where profits would be shared amongst the workers, and
believed that a business should be:
• Founded on ethical principles
• Organised democratically
• Contribute to the good of society
This vision is highly consistent with the current expectations
underpinning the movement on ESG reporting.
Today Scott Bader features in the Employee Ownership
Association’s (EOA) 2020 Top 50 Report as one of the fifty
largest employee-owned companies in the UK. It is a prime
example of how a business can be run differently, whilst also
being successful. As it cannot be taken over, the Company is
able to think and act long term as a business, with colleagues
fully involved in both the business strategy and operations.
We continue to maintain the balance between our social
purpose and our business needs as we pursue our ambitious
2036 Vision, in a way that lives up to our founder Ernest
Bader’s vision.

2. SCOPE
This manual describes Scott Bader’s Quality and CSR requirements for
suppliers and contractors, who provide raw materials, tolled products,
additional processing, services and on-site contracting activities.
This manual specifies the Quality and CSR requirements for Scott Bader Suppliers and
does not supersede specifications or contractual agreements, which shall be reviewed
and agreed, in addition to these requirements.
Suppliers are required to cascade these requirements or equivalent to their own
suppliers throughout the supply chain.
Scott Bader may have additional specific requirements beyond the requirements of this
manual, these will be issued by the Local Purchasing or QA teams. This may encompass
Logistical requirements including booking in and site rules, additional regulatory
paperwork and other legal requirements of the site you are supplying.
If in doubt, please contact your Local Scott Bader Purchasing or QA contact.
Scott Bader reserves the right to monitor suppliers, and where applicable, external
manufacturer compliance, in line with this Partnership Manual. Suppliers and/
or external manufacturers that are not in compliance with this Partnership Manual
are expected to implement corrective action and any future partnerships are at the
discretion of Scott Bader.
This manual specifies the
Quality and CSR requirements
for Scott Bader Suppliers.
CSR

7
We seek to develop long-term
partnerships with our suppliers
that are mutually beneficial.
3. PURPOSE
These requirements in this manual are designed to support
Scott Bader’s 2036 Vision, in particular, Acting beyond
compliance and Partnering for Success.
The purpose of this manual is to inform Scott Bader’s Suppliers of our core
expectations regarding their Quality, Safety and Environmental Management,
Ethics and Corporate Social Responsibilities. After reviewing this manual, a supplier
should have a clear understanding of what is expected of them to ensure that
all Scott Bader’s requirements and expectations are being met.
We seek to develop long-term partnerships with our suppliers that are mutually
beneficial. We work closely with suppliers, that reflect the values of Scott Bader,
who develop greener solutions, promote sustainability at every opportunity and who
share our commitment to achieve increasing levels of customer satisfaction, quality,
safety, sustainability and ethics through continuous improvement and monitoring.
We will conduct our business with the highest level of integrity. We will be honest
and responsible in dealing with suppliers and contractors.
Scott Bader expects our suppliers to deliver quality product on time with no defects
at a cost that enables both of us to be competitive and viable. We expect our suppliers
to be proactive and to alert us of any potential problems, changes in process or
products and situations that may arise causing risk to our joint ability to meet our
Quality, Regulatory and Ethical contractual obligations to our customers.
We expect quality and timely
delivery at a cost that is mutually
competitive and viable.

4. QUALITY
4.1 QUALITY MANAGEMENT SYSTEMS
Scott Bader expects all our key suppliers to be certified to, as a minimum,
ISO 9001:2015 or actively working towards gaining certification, unless prior
approval is obtained by Scott Bader
The supplier shall maintain suitable procedures and work instructions and ensure
that all persons including delivery drivers relating to the supplied products or services
supplied are suitably trained and competent.
Product must be delivered with appropriate paperwork, in the agreed packaging of
good condition to allow for suitable storage and lot/batch numbers must be clearly
visible and legible on each individual package.
4.2 CERTIFICATE OF ANALYSIS
Where applicable all products must be delivered with a certificate of analysis,
clearly detailing the test results of the delivered product, the batch/lot number
and the manufacturing or expiry date of the delivered product in accordance with,
where applicable, the agreed Scott Bader Purchasing Specification.
Full traceability must be maintained by the supplier, with the delivered product being
traceable back to base materials and equipment used to produce the product.
4.3 NON-CONFORMANCE
In the event that a supplier’s product or service does not conform to the agreed
specifications then Scott Bader will issue a Non-Conformance/Supplier Complaint.
Once issued the supplier will acknowledge the complaint and commence investigation
to the root cause with the expectation (unless agreed otherwise in writing) to fully
investigate, complete and close out the Non-Conformance/Complaint including all
corrective actions and preventative actions to ensure the issue does not re-occur.
4.4 CHANGE MANAGEMENT
The supplier must inform Scott Bader of any changes to the product formulation,
processing equipment (that is not like for like), manufacturing location, specification
or packaging.
In the case of a non “force majeure” change then notice of the change must be given at
least 3 months before the change is implemented and must allow for continued supply
of existing material for 6 months from notification. The supplier must have a change
management process in place and this must be clearly communicated to Scott Bader.
4.5 RECORD KEEPING
The supplier shall implement a suitable document control and record keeping process
to ensure that records are available for, as a minimum, 36 months beyond the shelf life
of the materials supplied to enable full traceability of the supplied product.
Scott Bader expects all our key
suppliers to be certified to,
as a minimum, ISO 9001:2015

9
5.0 ENVIRONMENT
AND ENERGY
Scott Bader expects all our suppliers to implement an Environmental
and Energy Management System and certification to ISO14001:2015 and
ISO 50001:2018 is preferred which will lower the risk rating of the supplier.
Suppliers shall obtain, keep current, and comply with all required local
Environmental permits.
We aim to work and build partnerships with suppliers who actively seek to secure
raw materials using non-crude oil or ‘Green/Bio’ feed materials and environmentally
friendly processes, where possible.
All suppliers should have an active waste reduction plan in place including for internal
activities and for products and packaging supplied to Scott Bader.
Suppliers should have a plan to monitor and actively reduce their Energy usage and
GHG emissions in order to limit the impact on the environment.
Supplier’s facilities shall be suitably controlled as to minimise emissions to air,
land or water, this includes odour and noise disruptions in the local area.
External manufacturers will comply with all applicable transportation laws. External
manufacturers will have systems in place to ensure safe and secure transportation of
materials, and such systems should be considered when: selecting logistics service
providers (including warehouses and terminals), inspecting and labelling of transport
containers, loading and unloading of transport containers, securing and sealing of
transport containers and responding to emergencies.
All suppliers should have
an active waste reduction
plan for internal activities,
products and packaging.

6. OCCUPATIONAL
HEALTH AND SAFETY
MANAGEMENT
Suppliers shall have sound H&S
practices to prevent workplace
accidents and injuries.

administrative controls, and/or personal protective equipment.
Occupational exposure to potential safety hazards and emergency situations shall be
controlled through proper design, risk assessment, engineering controls, safe work
procedures, emergency plans and response procedures, and mandatory trainings.
Facilities and onsite accommodation for employees must safeguard individuals’ dignity,
hygiene and safety. Their conditions must comply with national laws and relevant
health and safety standards.

7. CHEMICAL CONTROL
LEGISLATION
Scott Bader is a primarily a formulator of chemical mixtures and manufacturer
of polymers that may be sold globally. We have obligations to communicate
hazard and safe use information to our customers and to inform our suppliers
of any additional suspected hazards or new uses of their products that are
not covered by existing chemical safety assessments. Therefore, Scott Bader
seeks to work closely with suppliers in ensuring both parties are able to
comply with chemical control legislation around the world.
Suppliers shall cooperate with Scott Bader in maintaining compliance of their products
in the UK and of any Scott Bader products (mixtures or polymers) made using their
supplied materials in any relevant market Scott Bader supplies. Communication on
chemical inventory status of their materials globally is required and the supplier shall
clarify the status of their Registrations (e.g., EU, UK, Turkey REACH), notifications
(e.g. TSCA, DSL, AICIS, Japan ISHL/CSCL) as well as any industry declarable
substances lists (e.g. GADSL).
It is accepted that not all materials may be able to comply with all regions and the
supplier shall clearly communicate their status in each jurisdiction and/or market
(including food contact, personal care, automotive etc). The supplier shall work with
Scott Bader to clarify, establish or maintain compliance as required and agreed with
Scott Bader.
Suppliers shall inform Scott Bader prior to sale if their product contains any controlled
or restricted substances (REACH restrictions, RoHS, TSCA Section 6 rulings or Section
5 SNURS etc) that could reasonably be foreseen to affect the use of the substance by
Scott Bader in their manufacturing site or in product mixtures sold in or outside of the
UK (for example those subject to REACH Restrictions, Authorisation list substances,
Candidate List substances, Prior Informed Consent, TSCA Section 12(b), Rotterdam
convention, Stockholm Convention, Chemical Weapons Conventions, dual-use
regulations etc.).
All products supplied must comply GHS classification and labelling regulations (GB CLP)
including provision of extended Safety Data Sheets (eSDS). Changes to product labels
or SDS must be communicated to Scott Bader Regulatory Affairs as soon as practicable
or within three months of the change occurring. This is to meet our legal obligations
in other countries in a timely fashion and ensure we can communicate to our
downstream users.
The supplier should also communicate any expected changes in their products
regulatory status or hazard classification as soon as possible to enable the supplier
and Scott Bader to make any adjustments to processes, packaging or any downstream
communication needs.
All products supplied must comply
with GHS classification and
labelling regulations (GB CLP).

Child labour is not tolerated in any form. Suppliers shall not directly or indirectly
employ children below the minimum age of 15, unless exceptions under ILO Minimum
Age Convention No. 138 Article 6-7 apply.
Suppliers should have a child labour policy and a plan for remediation if applicable.
If a child is found working at a site associated with a Supplier, all remedial actions
taken must be in the best interest of the child. It is of the highest importance to always
protect children from being forced into harmful work.
Employees younger than 18 years of age are acceptable, providing that they do not
perform work that might jeopardise their health or safety, consistent with ILO
Minimum Age Convention No. 138. Suppliers shall not require juvenile workers to
work overtime or perform night-time work.
8.2 EMPLOYMENT IS FREELY CHOSEN
There shall be no forced, bonded or involuntary prison labour or any form of human

receipt of persons, by means of the threat or use of force or other forms of coercion,
of abduction, of fraud, of deception, of the abuse of power or of a position of
vulnerability or of the giving or receiving of payments or benefits to achieve
the consent of a person having control over another person, for the purpose of
exploitation.

their country, and be able to demonstrate compliance throughout their entire supply chain.
8.3 NON-DISCRIMINATION
Suppliers shall not negatively discriminate based on race, colour, age, gender, sexual
orientation, gender identity and expression, ethnicity or national origin, disability,
pregnancy, religion, political affiliation, union membership, protected genetic
information or marital status in hiring and employment practices unless such
distinction is required by national law, such as BBBEE in South Africa.

Employees should not be required to work more than the maximum regular and
overtime hours allowed by the law of the country of operation. No more than 48 hours
per week are worked on a regular basis and no more than 12 hours per week overtime

employment conditions in respect to wages before they enter employment and about
the particulars of their wages for the pay period concerned each time that they are paid
including any deductions at a rate that is fair and reasonable by local standards and
must be lawful and not discriminatory. Ensuring that the deductions from wages as a
disciplinary measure shall not be permitted without the expressed permission of the
worker concerned. All disciplinary measures should be recorded.
8.6 EMPLOYEE TREATMENT
Every employee shall be treated with respect and dignity. Workers shall not be subject
to any discrimination either directly or indirectly based on their gender, race, religion
disability or any other protected characteristic or any form of physical, sexual or mental

is reputable and (if required) properly licensed.
Suppliers must take reasonable steps to ensure that all workers supplied have the right
to work in the country of operation and are engaged on terms that comply at least the
minimum legal requirements in that country.
8.8 ANTI-BRIBERY AND CORRUPTION
Scott Bader does not tolerate any form of bribery and corruption.
We recognise that market practice varies across the territories in which Scott Bader
does business and therefore, what is normal and accepted in one place may not
be accepted in another. However, we are fully committed to complying with our
obligations under all applicable legislation, including the UK’s Bribery Act 2010 and
ensuring that no bribes or corrupt payments are made, offered, sought or obtained by
anyone acting on behalf of Scott Bader, anywhere in the world and expects its supply
partners to adhere to the same standards.
8.9 CONFLICT MINERALS
Suppliers must ensure that products and goods supplied to Scott Bader do not contain

form of bribery and corruption.

14
8.12 REPORTING MISCONDUCT

acting on behalf of Scott Bader has engaged in illegal or otherwise improper conduct
with respect to their business with the supplier should report the matter, in the first
instance, to Scott Bader for resolution. Reports may be made through the Scott Bader
Whistleblowing Hotline that is operated by an external service provider, Safecall, who
can be reached at http:/
/www/safelink.co.uk/report. Any such report of potential
misconduct shall not adversely affect the parties relationship.
8.13 SANCTIONED PARTIES

equipment which: (a) is located in any country subject to United Nations, United States
or European Union sanctions (or acting on behalf of persons or entities located in such
countries); or (b) appears on lists of restricted or prohibited persons maintained by the
United Nations, United States or the European Union or the country of manufacture,
origin, destination of the cargo. Where applicable, a shipper shall screen all vessels,
containers and other equipment and their owners to ensure compliance with this
requirement.

9. SUPPLIER APPROVAL
AND MONITORING
Scott Bader is committed to
working with suppliers whose
values are aligned to ours.
9.1 APPROVALS
Scott Bader applies a risk-based process to supplier approval, based on several different
criteria including Business Impact to Scott Bader, ISO approvals, single sourcing and
CSR activities including Ecovadis score.
All suppliers will be required to complete a Supplier approval questionnaire and agree
to the requirements of this Manual prior to approval.
Once the questionnaire has been reviewed a risk score will be allocated and approval
can take place. Based on the risk score this approval may involve a full supplier audit,
either on site or desk based.
Suppliers must agree to allow a Scott Bader representative on site to carry out a full
system/process audit if required.
9.2 ECOVADIS
Scott Bader is committed to working with suppliers whose values are aligned to ours.
Scott Bader has signed up to EcoVadis, a world leading provider of business supplier
sustainability ratings and improvement tools for global supply chains. We will leverage
this platform to reduce risk, encourage innovation and deliver on our commitment to
put sustainability and ethics at the core of what we do. EcoVadis support Scott Bader’s
mission to measure, monitor and improve supplier performance across key sustainability
criteria and identify high-performing partners willing to collaborate with us.
It is recommended that all suppliers to Scott Bader are registered on Ecovadis and that
their scorecard is shared with us. Completion of this will reduce the risk score of the
supplier approval.
Scorecards will be reviewed; minimum category scores may be set and continual
improvement of the Ecovadis score may be required to maintain approval as a supplier.
9.3 MONITORING
Key Suppliers will be monitored based OTIF and Quality performance, including
complaints and supplier responsiveness.
Suppliers monitored will be listed in the following categories
• Good
• Satisfactory
• Needs Improvement
For Suppliers identified in the “Needs Improvement” category Scott Bader may
request an improvement plan and / or surveillance audit and failure to improve their
performance may result in approval being revoked.
Suppliers will also be monitored against the CSR requirements of this manual and any
breaches which do not fit in with the ethics and values of Scott Bader may also result in
approval being revoked.
All suppliers complete
a questionnaire and agree
to the requirements of this
manual prior to approval.
